Ethernet adapter problem

9 months ago I bought the asus motherboard and 3 things don't work...
.1. the Ethernet adapter dosn't work (the computer can't find my modem even though it is all connected propally and both the speed and connection lights (on either side of the port itself) are on.
.2. I try and connect the case headphones attachments to there respective things on the motherboard and they don't work.
.3. the audio ports on the motherboard don't work (the ones coming out of the back of the case [not the sound card ones]).

You do not need to buy an entire new PCI ethernet adapter but buy a small USB ethernet adapter which works, it Also have the same problem with my A8N SliYou do not need to buy an entire new PCI ethernet adapter but buy a small USB ethernet adapter which works, it Also have the same problem with my A8N Sli

Re: ethernet adapter problem

I recently reformatted my brother's PC running this motherboard, and I have a similar issue with the nic. I get all connect lights to my router and from the card itself, and I'm online now on my computer on the same router. Have gone thru all the restarts and resets, have attempted to install drivers for it, several times, it won't take the drivers. I don't know why, I run the driver install (both from the mobo CD, and some I've downloaded from this machine and moved to the old one via a USB flash drive) when using ipcfg from cmd promt it still lists nothing, which tells me the stupid mobo just won't recognize any of the drivers I'm feeding it. Still working on a work around *sigh*

I am having the same problem with my ASUS P4P800 motherboard
I have just connected up with aol broadband I checked the device manager and found that my drivers for the ethernet card were not loaded unfortunately the cd disk that came with my motherboard and the manual have been inadvertently lost lol so I am now trying to download them from asus site in the mean time if that situation does not work I will have to buy an ethernet pci card and try that lol

There is not enough information here to be able to identify to a great degree of accuracy what the true problems could be, but I will take a stab anyway.
Is it safe to assume that the current configuration has been working in all 3 aspects during the previous 9 months?
If this is the case, it is possible that your modem (if it is a cable modem) may need to be reset to acquire a new address. The activity and collision LEDs do not necessarily tell you that you are connected.
The headphones problem...possible that you inadvertently disconnected the motherboard connector and placed it on incorrectly while researching one of the other issues? This could also be the case for the audio connector. Double (and triple) check all cable connections to the motherboard to ensure they are in the correct orientation and location.
If the above is insufficient feel free to post more detail, such as did it previously work, did you previously install any new hardware and/or software, thunderstorms in the area recently, changes at your ISP? Good luck.

first check for all the drivers in the device manager....
if every thing is perfect in driver side, then check if the ethernet/ lan is enabled....
then check is the light in the ethernet adapter is lit, when you plug any ethenet cable in it...
still if it is not working, then finally try to update the latest driver for the ethernet controller....
if nothing works, then buy an pci ethernet card and use it.....

That will give you the make of the ethernet
adapter you have on the pc. Once you have it installed you can patch up
the wireless as it works on the network adaptor base which generates
the ip address.

You need to reinstall the software for that, if its a ethernet card built in to your motherboard you can find the software for it from the motherboard setup CD , and if its a additional device to your computer just run the setup CD for it to reinstall the software back....

i have format my computer and now other devices in computer are demanding software namely Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus,Ethernet controller,SM Bus controller and Video controller(VGAcompatible)
